Bank ABC Group announced its new initiative, the Global Internship Programme, offering graduates a unique opportunity to embark on a global internship adventure in one of Bank ABC Unit’s across the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East.

The Programme is open to graduates who have completed their degrees within the past year. They will go through a rigorous selection process based on academic performance, relevant internship experience, personal qualities, and their motivation to be part of the programme.

Selected graduates are scheduled to undergo two weeks of intensive training at the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) this summer. Following this, the Bank will host a hackathon where graduates compete for the opportunity to take part in a two-month internship at Bank ABC.

Bank ABC Group Chief executive Officer, Sael Al Waary said: “This unique opportunity to intern at one of our fifteen global units will equip participants with global perspectives and valuable skills to thrive in the corporate world.”

Throughout the internship, the graduates will receive training specific to the banking industry, along with exposure to emerging trends in FinTech, ESG and Digitalisation. The programme aims to equip them with technical and soft skills and competencies essential to thrive and navigate a career in financial services.

The highest performers will be rewarded with an international 2-week placement. They will gain invaluable exposure by working in one of Bank ABC's units in prominent financial hubs such as New York, London, Paris, Milan, and Dubai.
